On July 14, I hiked to Ptarmigan Lake near Cottonwood Pass. I had hiked to this lake before when I climbed Jones Mountain several years ago. This time instead of climbing Jones Mountain, hiked a part of Gladstone Ridge. I didn’t go to the highest point as it was too far with too many ups and downs, but I got to a nice high point on the ridge above Ptarmigan Lake. Here are the pictures.

Here are a few pictures from a hike on the Colorado Trail between Rolling Creek Trailhead near Bailey and Tramway Creek. The hike took place on June 30, 2019.
